APOLINARIO MABINI July 23, 1864- May 13, 1903
VIII Strive that your country be constituted as a republic, and never as a monarchy: a monarchy empowers one or several families and lays the foundation for a dynasty.
-Mabini’s Decalogue for Filipinos
Skipping pleasantries when introduced to Aguinaldo, [Mabini] asked if the Americans had committed to help Filipinos gain independence from Spain in writing. Aguinaldo had no such commitment. Mabini then ruined the festive mood by saying that the declaration of independence was premature. He criticized the wordy document and its statement that the colors of our flag mirrored those of the US. Worse, the document stated that we owed Philippine independence to the grace of “The Great North American Nation.” That afternoon, Mabini made his first political enemy by replacing Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, author of the declaration of independence, as Aguinaldo’s principal adviser.
Months later, when Aguinaldo submitted Mabini’s appointment as [President] Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to the Malolos Congress for confirmation, Rianzares Bautista seized the chance for revenge by exposing Mabini’s physical disability in a newspaper article. Writing under the thinly disguised pseudonym “Zerzarian,“ he asked: “How can a man without feet be appointed or elected to such high office?”
To which Mabini replied: “Does the job of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court require constant walking? No? Therefore, he can be a man without feet, as long as he possesses the brains and able hands for the office.” Not content with that, Mabini gave the dagger a few twists before pulling it out. In an open letter to “Zerzarian,” Mabini, writing under the pseudonym “Paralitico,” said: “Being assured that old age produces in definite persons a sickness at least as inconvenient as paralysis, I shall not bear you any grudges.”
-Mabini: Conscience of the nation, Ambeth Ocampo [the open letter being referenced here is Mabini’s October 5, 1899 letter to Zersarian]
anyway, I love him

satoru gets turned on by the tiniest contact your bodies make. you’re sitting together and your leg slightly brushes against his? he’s hard. will grab your hand and put it on his dick bulging through the crotch of his pants and will moan so deliciously when your fingertips rub over the soft fabric covering his cock < 3

me: and his adoptive parents clearly cared that Cher.nobyl was leaving Uk.rai.nian children without parents, but they drew the line of that empathy at older children they couldn’t raise with their own ideals. they don’t consider older children to be parentless children they see him as a brutish practically grown man and not the two year old motherless child they wanted when in reality he IS that and he has ALWAYS BEEN THAT and if they just shown him the same grace they would for raging as they would a two year old with no mom throwing a temper tantrum then maybe it would have worked out but they DIDN’T

okay but you see sam has ALSO fallen for dean's act. sam also believes dean to be the macho, daddy's soldier, beer boobs cars guy he presents himself as. this is why sam makes fun of dean whenever he even lightly steps out of that mold and thinks it's harmless banter instead of attacking an insecurity. it's why he laughs when john talks down to dean in the early seasons and it's why he seems surprised when dean is more comfortable with himself in the later seasons. it's why he just scoffs but doesn't push it when dean puts up a front and refuses to talk about his emotions and just accepts whatever excuse he makes at face value. it's why he offers dean a strip club to make him feel better when cas dies. and this isn't his fault!! dean has spent a very long time perfecting this image in front of everyone and ESPECIALLY to sam because along with it comes safety and security and stability and the only person. who has consistently been able to see through it. is castiel
